Malcolm's Pov.
"Amber? Huh? That's Nice, My name is Malcolm." I said slighty laughing. "Well Malcolm I have to go." Amber said as she walked away leaving me standing in the middle of the hallway.
"Aye bruh who is that?" my homie Tony and Romney asked as they made their way to me. "Just some girl name Amber, I think she a new student." I replied. "You gone get down?" Tony asked. "Nah, she not my type." I admitted. "What?!" Tony said in disbelief,"Mane she fine."
"Mane that chick black asf." Romney added. "Now lets go talk to some big booty ho** ya feel me?"
Amber's Pov.
I was in my world history class slowly drifting away when the bell for lunch rang. "Finally." I muttered. I got my things and slowly made my way to the cafeteria. I sat at my usual table by myself, not expecting anyone to join me. I was strolling on my social media account when I saw Malcolm come to my table.
"Hey Amber." he smiled. "Oh you remembered my name." I said sarcastically. He laughed "Of course how could I forget?"
Why is this boy talking to me? I thought. I can see right through him, He's one of those wanna be thugs and I'm not interested. "So why you sitting here all alone?" he asked.
"Well I haven't made any friends yet." I said kind of ashamed. "Well you're not gonna make them by just sitting here alone, come sit at my table." he suggested. I looked over towards where his table was, there were whole bunch of guys and a couple of girls that looked like some ho**.
"No I'm fine over here...thanks."
"Nawl come on." he said dragging me by the arm.
" Aye y'all this is Amber, she's new and she could use a couple of friends." He said to the group of kids at the table. "Hey" they all said greeting me. A couple of girls eyeballed me as I took the seat next to Malcolm.
"Hey my name is Tony." the guy across the table from Malcolm said. He was dark-skin and kind of muscler, he seemed cool. "I'm Tonya, Malcolm's little sister" the girl beside Tony said. She was light skin, with aqua hair and looked like a girl version of Malcolm. She's pretty. "These are my friends Michala, and Ky." Tonya said introducing me to the rest of her friends. "Nice to meet you guys." I said politely. Michala was a pretty white girl, with long black and brown hair. Ky is a light skin female with short hair and the most prettiest eyes every. Them together was like the light skin goddesses. For the next 10 minutes I was answering questions about myself. Like where I was from and what school did I attend before Creastview.
"So I'm throwing a house party for my 16th birthday on Saturday and I would really like for you to come." Tonya said. "A party?" I questioned. No one has ever invited me to a party before. "Yea there's going to be drinks, food, and a whole bunch of fine a** guys. You have to come. It'll give you a chance to make some new friends." Tonya replied. "Okay I guess." I said kind of excited. "Yay, where going to have tons of fun girl. Lets exchange numbers." Tonya said cheesing.
While me and Tonya were exchanging numbers a light skin girl with big lips and a big butt walked over.
"Who is this ho*Malcolm? You cheating on me again?" A girl asked while walking up to the table. I looked at Malcom with confusion. "Ho*?" I asked. "If you're looking for a ho* you must be referring to yourself because my name is Amber. And me and your boyfriend have nothing going on, we just met. Next time come correct before you jump to conclusions." I said calmly while the girl stood there quite. I gave everyone at the table a smile and then I politely got up and left the cafeteria.
Malcolm Pov.
Amber was getting along well with everyone until my ex star walked up with some bs. "Who was that Malcolm!" Star yelled. "Don't worry about it we not together anymore...remember?" I replied. "Ni**a we just broke up a week ago and you already tryna fu** that black a** h**." Star argued. "Mane stfu, why you ain't say that sh** to her face? See you better hope she don't beat your a** I told yo dumb a** about acting hard."
Me and star have been dating on and off since middle school. We were in love at a point but then my feelings slowly started to change when I saw her true colors. The bit*h cheated on me with one of my goons, Darius, I dropped both of they a**es.
**Ring
That was the sound of the bell, lunch was over and it was time for 3rd block.
"Malcolm I'm sorry for lashing out, I miss you. I messed up I'm sorry." Star pleaded.
"Yea? Well I'm sorry I don't want to hear your sh*t anymore. We're done stay out of my way." I said sucking my teeth.
I needed to go find Amber and apologies for my ex's bs.
Amber's Pov.
I was pissed at what happened in the cafeteria see this is why I keep to myself. I was in the bathroom fixing my hair when I heard someone crying in the stall. "Are you okay?" I asked. The crying instantly stopped. The toilet flushed and a girl walked out. She was light skin and her hair was natural like me. "I'm fine." the girl said. "What's your name?" I asked the girl. "Aaliyah." she replied. "My name is Amber."
"Hi." she said smiling. "Lets fix your makeup." I requested.
Once I was done fixing Aaliyah's makeup she asked me if I could keep this to myself. "Yea sure." I agreed. "Well I'll see you around Amber, thanks a lot." Aaliyah said as she walked away.
After school was over Malcolm was waiting for me outside.
"Aye, I'm sorry for what happened at lunch, that was my ex Star." he said.
" It's cool" I replied. "Are you going to sit with us again at lunch? Everyone seems to like you." he added. "Mhm sure as long as your girlfriend stay out of my way."
"Ex!" he corrected me.
"Bye boy." I laughed while walking away. Today was a good day.
